Overview
Reveals LoRA's limitations in RL contexts through systematic PEFT evaluation.
Core Technique
Structural Variant Comparison:
# Standard LoRA sometimes suboptimal
methods = [LoRA, DoRA, AdaLoRA, PiSSA, VeRA, ...]
# Evaluate on RLVR (sparse binary rewards)
results = benchmark_all_methods(methods, rlvr_training)
# Finding: DoRA/AdaLoRA outperform
When to Use
Use when: RL fine-tuning, parameter efficiency critical, method selection.
